📋 DISCLAIMER
3A
Which Disclaimer applies?
Please select Disclaim A or B.
3B
Disclaimer A — Reason for Disclaimer
⚠️
A Disclaimer is a formal statement to a federal agency. The IOR must confirm the basis in writing before Catalyst will file.
⚠️
Common misconception: used, resold, closeout, or overstock merchandise is still subject to eFiling. Being secondhand, discounted, or surplus stock does not by itself qualify a product for Disclaim A — the underlying certification requirement is unchanged. Only check a scenario below if it independently applies to the product itself.
Step 1 — Check all scenarios that apply
No CPSC rule, ban, or standard requires a certificate for this producte.g. hats, scarves, gloves; sport helmets other than bicycle helmets; 15(j) products other than drawstrings
Collectible or decorative item intended for adults — not a children's producte.g. collectible toys, figurines, or novelty items marketed exclusively to adults age 18+
Component parts for manufacturing or assembly — not sold to consumers as a finished producte.g. parts for incorporation into a finished product not yet in U.S. commerce
Outside CPSC jurisdiction — regulated by another federal agency (e.g. FDA)e.g. medical products classified as medical devices under FDA jurisdiction
Outside CPSC jurisdiction — non-consumer industrial or commercial equipmente.g. equipment for commercial or industrial use only, not sold to consumers
Upholstered furniture — 16 CFR part 1640 is the only applicable CPSC rule⚠️ If lead-in-paint or children's product testing also applies, a GCC or CPC is required instead
Personal use item exported for repair and being reimported by the same ownerSame product, same owner — returning after repair or refurbishment abroad
Consumer-to-consumer gift — from one private individual abroad to another in the U.S.Not a commercial sale; personal gift between private individuals
Goods destined for export — not entering U.S. commerceTransiting through the U.S. or imported solely for re-export
Military use only — not available to or intended for civilian consumersGoods purchased and used exclusively by the U.S. military

✅ FULL FILING — GENERAL CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY (GCC)
🛑
Quick check before you continue — is this a clothing item that was lab-tested for flammability (16 CFR 1610)?
If yes, and your lab report says it's exempt from testing/certification (this is common for adult apparel), you do NOT need a GCC. Click "← Back" below, then choose "No certificate required — file a Disclaimer." Filing a GCC when a disclaimer applies means paying for a certificate you don't need.
Not sure? Stop and ask your Catalyst contact before filling out the rest of this page.
